Pell Grant

The Federal Pell program provides assistance in the form of a grant to undergraduate students.

Pell eligibility is determined by the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) calculated from the information provided on the FAFSA. The 2013-2014 maximum award is $5645 for full-time enrollment for two semesters.

The amount of Pell received will depend on the student's EFC and academic status. Students may not receive Pell Grant funds from more than one school at a time.

Students will be limited to 12 full-time semesters of Pell Grant.

Effective with the 2011-2012 award year, students will no longer be eligible to receive more than one schedule Pell Grant Award within an award year.
